Hey people! I would love to say that I own iCarly, BUT 'my dear children' that would be a lie.

FRIDAY: AT THE AUDITIONS
*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*

"Sam Puckett?" A skinny dark haired lady with glasses called from the other side of the large door separating the auditorium from the application/sitting area.

Sam stood up and followed the dark haired lady until she was seated with a group of people who looked way older than her.

She waited and waited and waited until finally it was her turn.

"Hi my name is Samantha Puckett and I will be performing the song I've Never Been in Love Before from Guys and Dolls."

Sam waited for the accompanist to start playing and after the short intro she began singing.

I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more.

I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour
So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before.

I've never been in love before
Now all at once it's you
It's you forever more.
I've never been in love before
I thought my heart was safe
I thought I knew the score
But this is wine that's all too strange and strong
I'm full of foolish song
And out my song must pour

So please forgive this helpless haze I'm in
I've really never been
In love before.

"You may be seated Samantha, have you prepared a monolog?" asked a larger lady with gray hair and glasses.

"Yes ma'am." It took every restraint in Sam not to roll her eyes.

Tortureeee. Sam whined to herself.

After an hour of monologs read by random auditioners, Sam was finally up.

She finished her monolog slightly shaky, knowing that it would hurt her in the long run, but she was hoping to make up for it by her singing, and the dancing was yet to come.

"Hey there."

Sam looked up and there was a guy about her age with long black hair, tan smooth skin, white teeth, and he was really tall.

"Hey." She replied calmly, though inside she was screaming.

"My name's Chase Zoring."

"Cool, my name is Sam Puckett." Sam could've sworn she stopped breathing.

"From iCarly, right?" Chase asked.

"Yep, that's me. Why? You like the show?"

"Yeah, I love it! I watch it all the time." He smiled.

She smiled back.

"So I heard about y'all doing High School Musical, why are you here and not there?" He questioned.

Sam's face fell. "I was asking myself the same question"

"Oh…" He replied awkwardly.

"Yeah, Freddie completely flipped out that I was auditioning for Wicked, Carly was really supportive though."

"Haha, sorry to laugh but I'm just wondering… What did you do to Freddie?"

They both laughed, "Well, I showed up at a rehearsal for High School Musical while they were re-blocking everything for Valarie. I have had to hide in there before, while I was running from Miss Briggs after setting her bag pipes on fire, so I knew about this little tiny sitting space under the stage, I ducked out there for a while and when everyone had left- except Freddie- I started talking, he totally freaked out! It was hilarious. He still doesn't know that I was the one talking to him!"

Chase started laughing at the measures Sam was taking to freak Freddie out.

"Well, Freddie might hate you, but I think you are funny and cute." Chase stood up and walked away, looking back at Sam and grinning one more time.

Sam sighed and they called her group out for the dance audition. After roughing it out through a difficult routine to the song No One Mourns the Wicked, Sam was starting to remember why she gave up theatre. She grabbed her water bottle and walked home from the audition. Finally, it was over.

Meanwhile

*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*)*

"Just do it!" Carly gave Freddie a look.

"No! She can't just blow us off, and then we are forced to make her a 'good luck' banner! Chances are she won't even be here! She hasn't been hanging out with us ever since she told us about the Wicked thing!"

"Freddie." Carly pouted.

"Ok ok, fine! For you not for Sam!"

"Yay!" Carly clapped for herself.

Freddie rolled his eyes, annoyed by her constant perkiness. This had to be a first for him, annoyed by Carly.
